This paper mainly studies the notion of a locally conformal pre-symplectic (lcps) manifold (although locally conformal symplectic (lcs) manifolds are also considered). An lcps manifold has a \(2\)-form \(\Omega\) and a closed \(1\)-form \(\omega\) such that \(d\Omega = -\omega \wedge \Omega\). (If \(\omega = 0\), then \(\Omega\) is a pre-symplectic form. If \(\Omega\) is non-degenerate, then it is locally conformal symplectic. If both conditions hold, then \(\Omega\) is a symplectic form.) An interesting structure result is proved here for forms \(\Omega\) such that \(\Omega^2 \not = 0\) at each point. Part of it reads as follows. If \(X\) is an infinitesimal automorphism of the lcps structure, then \(d_\omega(i(X)\Omega) = l_X \Omega\), where \(l_X\) is a constant and \(d_\omega(-) = d(-) + \omega \wedge (-)\) is an \(\omega\)-perturbed exterior derivative. Thus \(\Omega\) is \(d_\omega\) exact if \(l_X \not = 0\). In this case, under the additional assumption that \(M\) is compact, the author shows that \(M\) fibres over a circle, carries a Poisson structure and the restriction of \(i(X)\Omega\) to each fibre is a contact form. Examples of lcs and lcps structures are also given. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0996.00031].
